Some encouraging signs in today's statement imo.

Oct 22; Panmure Gordon: Hold - TP: down to 1425p from 1600 on 30 Sept.

This being a core high yield holding for me, I tend to look at low sp as an opportunity to add
and think recent sp under 1330, often well under that, was favourable, if holding for the long term.
